BCM Replacement

Replace the BCM only if diagnostics direct you specifically to do so. Most system problems are traceable to faulty wiring, to connectors, or to components. The BCM itself is very reliable and is not likely the cause of a fault. Do not replace the BCM before performing a complete diagnosis or recurrence of the fault will likely occur.

Note: Every input to the BCM is short to ground and short to battery protected. Every output from the BCM is short to ground and short to battery protected. Therefore, the BCM does not automatically need to be replaced when there is a short found in the wiring connected to it. Repair the wiring first, then check the system for any further problem.
